Air Fryer Sesame Chicken Thighs

Sesame-flavored chicken thighs are crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 pounds chicken thighs
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Combine sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and vinegar in a large bowl. Add chicken and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Drain marinade from the chicken.
  3. Place chicken thighs skin-side up in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 10 minutes.
  4. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
